Testing is rising extremely quickly in the US. Over 27,000 in the last 24 hours: https://covidtracking.com/us-daily/

There's a difference between distributed and utilized. Is that confusing?

What's interesting is that the rate of negative results seems to be roughly constant. I would expect that with an expansion of testing we would see many more negative results as a proportion (if we were allocating tests early only to the most likely cases and are now expanding the reach of testing)

My guess is that we're still short on tests, so only people who most likely have the virus are getting tested.

Sure, so the solution to idiots misinterpreting the data is that we need to make it impossible for experts to record the data. /s

What's the alternative? Wallow in ignorance some more? I prefer to know what's actually going on.

It sounds like we should be doing more education, rather than less testing.
